Keystone Oaks School District’s partnership with Waterfront Learning allows the District to provide a comprehensive K-12 online program that raises the bar for online learning. The Keystone Oaks Cyber Academy combines the personal attention of the Keystone Oaks School District with the content, tools, and services available from a national online provider. This means that students can stay in the District and can take advantage of opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, while benefiting from the flexibility of online learning.
The online platform provides flexibility for different learning styles and allows for content customization. In addition, students can expand their learning by enrolling in classes that are not offered traditionally. Students in grades K-5 will take courses through the Pearson platform. Students in grades 6-12 will take courses through Edgenuity.
More information about course offerings is available online.
The attention and personalization expected of classroom teachers is what you will find with the online teaching staff. All teachers are highly qualified in their content area, and are observed and supervised using Pennsylvania’s Teacher Effectiveness Rating Tool. All Keystone Oaks Cyber Academy courses are overseen by a Keystone Oaks teacher, helping to maintain a personal connection and to ensure that students are meeting course requirements.
Students enrolled in the Keystone Oaks CyberAcademy will also work closely with a certified school counselor to ensure that all graduation requirements are met and to receive support for pursuing post-secondary options. High School students will continue to work with the District’s Community Service & Career Readiness Advisor to develop a career portfolio and meet community service requirements. Keystone Oaks 6-12 Cyber Academy Coordinator will work directly with students and families to develop a schedule of courses and to monitor student work, mastery of content standards, and time on task.
